In this talk from an early Acres U.S.A. conference, Charles Walters championed a panel about the loss of intellectual outlook on farming. In this talk, Walters and Lee Fryer address a crowd of farmers for almost two hours on what is being lost, and kept, as agriculture progresses into the real of Big-Ag.

Walters, the founder of Acres U.S.A., knew he had to fight the good fight on his own terms. Acres U.S.A. was his base camp, and while he struggled to keep it afloat in the early years, the journal immediately attracted a throng of fascinating figures. It seemed there were other mavericks out there who needed a forum, and they came out of the woodwork. Soil scientists, farm policy experts, economic thinkers, insect researchers, philosophers of the land — Walters met many of them through Acres U.S.A., interviewing them, commissioning articles by them, and inviting them to speak at the annual conference he began in 1975.
